Chris Gayle is one of the world's most dominating opening batsmen who has the capability to single-handedly winning matches for his side. Gayle, also known as 'Universe Boss' is once again at the helm & opening for West Indies at this World Cup. His latest knock, an 84-ball 87 against New Zealand is a testament that Gayle wants to leave an impression at his last World Cup.

One of the most famous players to have taken part in the Indian Premier League, Gayle's biggest strength will be the fact that he has faced the Indian bowlers multiple times in the T20 league and will hold the key to put them under pressure early on.

With Gayle certain to open the batting for West Indies, his experience of playing the Indian bowlers and big-hitting abilities could combine to help West Indies get off to a fantastic start.
